Regina is in the amphitheater, waiting to train Elijah in melee
Elijah walks up to the amphitheater, waving to Regina but not saying anything else. Uncharacteristically, he isn’t wearing any makeup.
"Hey... You ready for this? To focus down, forget everything else?"
He hesitates when answering, seeming a bit distracted.
”…yeah. Yeah, I’m ready.”
".. Alright. Take deep breaths. Clear your mind. And grab whatever shortsword feels most comfortable to hold and maneuver"
He takes a deep breath, looking through his options. Eventually he picks one of the celestial bronze short swords, a shorter one, and walks back to Regina.
"Okay, now stance. Show me what you think a strong stance is"
He closes his eyes, remembering all the times he’s seen others fight. The stance he chooses isn’t perfect, but it’s close.
"A better start than most people!! Is it alright if I touch to make slight adjustments?"
"Huh, wow... Thats pretty far. Surprised Artemis travelled all this way. Thought I heard America became like... The new Greece, so all the gods have this as their center. Though I suppose that could always be this damn country overhyping itself again.."
Mykailo laughs a little, bringing their hand up to cover their mouth politely. “This was several years before the founding of America, my demigod friend. Though I am sure Lady Artemis found good hunts with the native population at the time.”
"Wow... Then your over a hundred was a small understatement, huh?" She laughs "Over 250, now.."
“Over a hundred since I’ve made my bow.” They smile. “Though I have kept it very clean! And added my own alterations. The cat’s whisker rubber does wonders to remain silent on a hunt.”
"Cat's whisker rubber? Never heard of somethin like that before! Id be interested to hear all youve done with it. All I can really do on mine is the carving"

"If Heracles could do it, so can I. As for the fridge? Carefully." she laughs and heads inside, expecting him to follow.
Angelo does so, carefully avoiding the sheep. “You put it on your head or something? Biggest thing I ever stole was a car, and I had to be inside the damn thing.”
"I dragged it." she says after a bit. Aeris pours two glasses of sweet tea and sits in a chair after handing Angelo one. "Lotta 'A' names around here."
“Yea.” He instinctively checks it for poison before taking a sip, though it seems more subconscious than intentional. “I mean, there’s some letters that inherently lend themselves to being [gp]tty names. Like.. I dunno.. U. Or D.”

"Sure, I could use some food as well." He says as he stand up. "I could go for some fresh venison, its been a bit."
“Perhaps not tonight, but certainly tomorrow I should be fit for a hunt.” They stand up, wincing, using their longbow to steady themselves. “Ah.. ow.. onwards then.” Mykailo says, making their way to the mess hall.
They would enter the mess hall. "Probably better to see what food one of the campers made for everyone, the counselors are a bit all over the place when it comes to the food schedule."

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in- Breathe out-breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out- God Damn it, Elijah-… what are you doing? You’ve ruined things with Angelo- Regina must be fed up with you- And Leslie.
Elijah is in the woods. He needed to be alone. Studying his crucifix with teary eyes, clutching a discarded bracelet in the other hand. Leslie. She likes me.
Why don’t I like her back?
Why am I like this? Why can’t I just be (1GP)ing normal for one damn second and like her back? She’s funny. She’s smart. She likes me! So why… Why, lord, am I not enamored with her?Elijah sits down against a tree, face in his hands. His thoughts are barely even coherent, so much has happened in the last six hours. He’s overwhelmed. And then there’s the quest. What the Hell am I supposed to do? Why the Hell is it me? Oh God- I’m going to have to go on a quest with Angelo. He looks down, shaky and confused and angry and scared-… Oh God, Angelo. Why was he ever friends with Angelo? Angelo isn’t the type of person he should be friends with. That’s what his parents would say.
So, again, why? Why did I ever get close to him-… was it- no, stop being stupid, Elijah, it’s not that. But what- No, Elijah, you aren’t that kind of person.
Elijah looks to the sky, holding his crucifix in his hands.
God, if you’re up there-… If you… do exist along with all of this Greek… nonsense… am I a sinner? Will my parents think that?
He waits a few seconds. No answer. No brilliant flash of light. No miracle, no Angel sent to guide him towards goodness.
Elijah screams, throwing Angelo’s bracelet across the woods. One second, two second. Elijah isn’t breathing. Then, he snaps out of it.
(1GP)… he thinks, sprinting after it, tears running down his face.
(can I interact with this?)
*sorry, it’s not meant to be interacted with, it’s a cutscene.*
(my bad then. do you want to rp)
*sure!*
Luna is in the sparring area with her knives
Caleb is watching her from the side.
(could I have elijah? fine if not)
*alright!*
Elijah is also in the arena. He’s trying to learn how to properly use a shortsword.
Luna goes over to him "need help with that?"
“That’d be great… there’s… stuff happening and I need to learn how to use a sword…”
"I've heard about it. my specialty is daggers but I can with a sword"
“Alright. So, uh… where do I start?”
Luna guides him the basic movements
He seems a bit confused at first, but quickly manages to catch on. He isn’t as inherently skilled with this as he is with bows, but he isn’t exactly bad at it.
"you catch on quickly. do you know where to hit someone?"
“Uh, it’d depend on if I wanna, like, really hurt them or Not, right?”
She nods "legs or arms are good for incapacitation, makes sure they can't fight. more deadly attacks are focused on the neck and chest for the most part, though tactics will probably change depending on what you might fight"

“…yeah, I guess-…” he mumbles.
She adjusts his arms slightly "This gives better structure, supporting with everything instead of just the arms. Id also recommend a stance just a smidge wider? Not too far, but it gives good balance.." She steps back "Try a swing"

She nods "I think thats more than enough speculation to go off of. I dont usually like going beyond 'maybes'. Seen it lead to some's disappointment"
"Honestly...I'm only really care to figure it out to solve the puzzle. My adoptive parents are wonderful people...I don't need to know my bio parents to be happy...though...maybe some closure on why I was....abandoned would be nice..." Asada says quietly.
"... Im not sure about your mortal parent, but the god ones abandon everyone. Too busy and important for their kids, I guess.."
"That's upsetting. We are a strange bunch but, there are so many cool and talented kids here...I feel like any parent would be lucky to have such a kid..." Asada says.
"I suppose it got boring for them? After thousands of years of groups like us or something.. I dont know"
He chuckles. "We all sound like the protags of an underdog movie, having to prove ourselves."
*Sorry, missed this before!* "Hah, yeah.. Think Ive gotten a bit of a head start with the capture the flag, but Im going to stay winning everything I can to prove myself"
